Ecommerce Set Up and Management

Online is a vital channel of communication
which, if you ignore, automatically wipes out one quarter of your
potential audience reach.

If you have a retail business, you cannot afford not to be online!

eCommerce works equally well for B2B and service businesses.

Promote your business to a local or global audience with relatively low overheads.

You no longer need to make a huge upfront investment in a new online shop.

Today's ecommerce technology can be purchased off-the-shelf on subscription with automated software upgrades.

There
is now a wide choice of online Payment Service Providers and delivery
/carriage companies with solutions for every type of e-retailer.

If
you already have an online shop, you may need a new one. Internet
technology has moved on significantly in the last few years and today's
online shopper has high expectations.

Ecommerce is rapidly maturing but it's not too late to enter into this fast growing channel of new business. The growth in ecommerce is quite extraordinary. Every January
new records are announced in the media about how much trade has been
taken online in the build up for Christmas. To ignore ecommerce is to ignore a massive
potential audience and revenue stream.

There are many first
generation e-commerce platforms available for companies but many have

platforms are in essence software driven and it does not take much
experience to realise that software updates are being launched on an

Any ecommerce product created a
couple of years ago - or even last year - will have been superceded by
new software releases. Your choice of ecommerce partner is key and one
that provides automatic software updates is vital.
